Bmw 5 Series Bowers And Wilkins Review
A new 5 Series and a new Bowers & Wilkins system to go with it, but can it hit the sonic highs of the company's most recent stereo speakers? For true audiophiles, people who can pick up on the beautifully nuanced differences in sound quality among high-end speakers, the expensive Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system in the 5 Series and 7 Series is absolutely worth the money.

The time now is 07:14 AM. TotallyEV puts the BMW i5's audio system through its paces. Find out how the Harman Kardon and B&W systems compare by reading the review.
Bowers & Wilkins is putting 17 speakers in the BMW i5 and 18 speakers in the 5 Series, with 655 watts of power and seven aluminum tweeters. The Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System uses state-of-the-art technology and fine materials, also in the new BMW i5 and thus in the first electric vehicle of the BMW 5 Series. Bowers & Wilkins' Diamond Surround Sound System originally debuted in BMW's 7-Series.
As a premium audio option for those wanting to drive or be driven, it made perfect sense. Very strong audio setup here in the new BMW i5 EV. However, you certainly won't mistake it for a 7.
The announcement sees Bowers & Wilkins and BMW deepen their partnership, which began in 2015 with the Diamond Surround Sound System in the BMW 7 Series. Today, Bowers & Wilkins performance audio systems are available in BMW vehicles from 5 Series and above, and has both a Surround Sound System and upgrade option in the BMW 7 Series launched in 2022. The all-new BMW 5 Series / i5 features Bowers & Wilkins' proprietary Continuum Cone, to go with a maximum of 18 True Sound speakers.
